Fairness in Retirement
Income
This campaign promotes a retirement income system based on principles of adequacy, sustainability, certainty and fairness.
The issue
Many seniors, especially pensioners, have limited income and face increasing cost-of-living pressures.
What we're calling for
We’re calling for changes to pension rules to let pensioners work without penalty and to increase pension gifting limits.
The benefits
Allowing pensioners to work will improve their lives and help address the nation's crippling labour shortage.
National Seniors Australia campaigned to improve the Pension Loans Scheme (now called the Home Equity Access Scheme).
We were successful in lowering of the interest rate from 5.25% to 3.95%. A huge win for seniors who need a safe way to release their home equity to live a better retirement.
